On Nonparametric Supply Response Analysis
探讨非参数方法在研究生产行为及估算产出供给和投入需求价格弹性中的用途,能处理与生产理论不一致的数据点,并以美国农业为例估算弹性。
Abstract In this paper, we explore the usefulness of nonparametric methods in the investigation of production behavior and the estimation of price elasticities of output supply and input demand functions. The approach can handle the situation where some data points are not consistent with production theory. The method is illustrated by estimating supply‐demand elasticities of outputs and inputs in U.S. agriculture.
